Father of seven children of seven different women, he has danced with the Rolling Stones and Ella Fitzgerald in his clubs.

Often hired to play marginalised Native American or Mexican characters before he was typecast as the image of a lone killer, Bronson was a major figure in the popular cinema of the 1960s and 70s and his stony-faced, physical acting and career are worthy of a second look.
